Consider that parts of yoga were stripped out and implemented for its effectiveness in reducing overuse injuries.
Teaching individuals quickly and at scale is a core necessity for militaries. Whether not or it gets used, the US Army usually has access to whatever is near the edge there (as in some unit or officer somewhere was promoting the method, and had the sign offs necessary to disseminate it, but culturally it was not fully put in place).
I've been using certain slurs as more proof-of-human, and any nuanced thinking that skirts by certain ideologies like Chechens hugging Russian artillery in 1995.
Empirically, a lot of strong extended family & fictive kin systems suggest otherwise. If anything, atomization (weaker relationship bonds) go hand in hand with a lack of what I suspect you would call "abuse." Though I'm guessing you might call those strong bonds "unhealthy", as well?
The older I get and the more old stuff I sieve through, the more I feel I grew up in an environment shaped by short-term persuasions, all added up like different archaeological layers. Every single ideal, value, word, and so on, just marketing that hit my parents, or propaganda that hit my grandparents. Which is why the Confucian rectification of names is appealing.
Like freezing requirements. Definitions of words change over time to suit a winning faction. This was especially dramatic in the last century or so. So for the Analects, it's something like making sure words mean what they meant when the land was run well.
"If names are not right then speech does not accord with things; if speech is not in accord with things, then affairs cannot be successful; when affairs are not successful, li and music do not flourish; when li and music do not flourish, then sanctions and punishments miss their mark; when sanctions and punishments miss their mark, the people have no place to set their hands and feet.
Therefore, when a junzi gives things names, they may be properly spoken of, and what is said may be properly enacted. With regard to speech, the junzi permits no carelessness.”
In our town, a single homeless man has caused millions in infrastructure damage (and 24-48 hr hold ups of utilities) every year. I imagine what one determined, clear-headed individual might do and...it certainly wouldn't take a single LLM interaction.
It is his God-given duty. I'm not sure housing will get in the way of his duty, but there are two options for that.
He used to stick to water (God, you see, needs to flood our town to cleanse it), but once he did a lot of damage to communications from going after water, and so he's added that to his portfolio.
Even with a state sweetheart tax deal, the most populated county in my state gets half of its property tax income from a datacenter. Projection for one in my county looks like it would hit 70%.
tbh I'm more worried about the resource curse from the sudden change in budget
Incidentally, the Statute of Anne was pushed by a printing guild after they lost their monopoly on printing. It was so unpopular[1] for them to get the monopoly back that they had to pivot and come up with some other way. So they figured they could do it in the name of writers. That worked!
